Break clauses
Notice Periods, with the Maths Done.
A missed notice window is a five-year tenancy you didn't sign up for. We extract the clause, do the date maths, and tell you when to act.
Date, conditions, maths.
Brentmoor's break clause, deadline already computed.
Serve too early and the lease ignores it. Serve too late and it's gone.
Break-clause litigation is overwhelmingly about timing. We chart the runway so the deadline doesn't sneak.
- T − 180 daysConditions audit
Open the pre-flight checklist. Get the rent ledger clean, confirm vacant-possession plan, check material-breach status.
- T − 90 daysNotice drafted
Solicitor brief opens. We surface the conditions wording verbatim so the notice matches the lease's own language.
- T − 60 daysNotice served
Upload the served notice + delivery proof. The break itself is now auditable, not just an email thread.
- T = 0Break date
Vacant possession by this date or the break may be invalidated. The runway ends here.
Notice served, conditions met, break confirmed, all logged.
The audit log records every change to the conditions checklist, every uploaded proof of delivery, every dispute. If it gets argued, the trail is intact.
Every break clause, with its conditions.
Conditions are the kicker, 'vacant possession' or 'all rents paid up to date' invalidates the break if you blink. We surface every condition with the date.
Rolling vs fixed-date vs conditional
Classified per clause. Notice period extracted alongside the date, so the maths reads 'serve by 21 Sep 2026 for the 21 Mar 2027 break'.
Conditions captured
Vacant possession, rent paid, no breach, etc. Each condition becomes a pre-flight checklist before the notice goes out.
Pre-window timeline
Visualised as a runway: today → conditions-check window → notice-served deadline → break date.
Pre-deadline alerts
180 / 90 / 60 / 30-day warnings to the named decision-maker. Default is the responsible estates lead; per-property override available.
Notice-served evidence
Upload the served notice, log who served it on whom, attach the proof of delivery. The break itself becomes auditable.
Tenant + landlord parity
Both-sided breaks (often landlord-only or tenant-only) are tagged so the dashboard shows your party's options, not the other side's.
Tenants who'd quite like to leave on time.
Most break-clause litigation comes from notice served late or conditions un-met. We don't fix the lawyers, but we do fix the calendar.
Tenant, corporate occupier
Conditional breaks tied to a portfolio reorganisation. Pre-flight checklist enforces the conditions before serving.
